Adidas signs Candace Parker to multiyear endorsement deal
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Los Angeles Sparks rookie Candace Parker has signed a multiyear endorsement deal with Adidas. Parker was the top choice in the WNBA draft and The Associated Press player of the year.
Adidas declined to disclose the value of the deal. Parker's agent was not immediately available.
Parker played three seasons at Tennessee and helped win two national championships. She is headed to Beijing as part of the 2008 U.S. Olympic women's basketball team.
This is why I never understood the so-called ESPN experts who scoffed at her WNBA salary, and questioning her reasoning for passing up her 5th year. Who cares about that chump change, this girl is about to print money with her endorsements rolling in...! Hey Candace, loan me $50....and don't say you don't have it!
